What is the main difference between the MF (Master of Forestry) and MS (Master of Science) degrees?

The Master of Forestry (MF) degree is a non-thesis degree designed to meet the continuing education and promotion needs of working professionals. This degree typically takes 12-15 months to complete and requires the student work on a capstone project.

Please note: The MF is considered a professional degree rather than a research degree. This degree will usually not meet the requirements of Ph.D. programs requiring a prior MS degree.

The Master of Science (MS) degree is structured specifically for those interested in careers in research, teaching, and specialized areas of forestry. The MS degree requires a thesis and is typically completed in 24 months.
